Delegations have been grilling Saudi Arabia on its human rights record at the UN in Geneva as it faces a torrent of international condemnation over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Member states have also been criticising abuses of the Saudi-Emirati coalition's role in the war in Yemen in Monday's so-called "Universal Periodic Review" - which all 193 UN countries must undergo every four years.

"A thorough, conclusive and transparent investigation carried out in accordance with due process with results made public is essential," the delegation said.
